The young Manhattan law clerk killed by a charter bus “was destined to do great things,” her devastated father said Friday.
Kimberly Greer, 28, who clerked for Katharine Parker, a federal magistrate judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of New York in Lower Manhattan, “loved law” and “probably would have been a judge at some point,” Greer’s dad, George Greer, told The Post.
”She was destined to do great things.
“She worked very hard and very late,” a choked-up George said of his newly married daughter at his Syosset, LI, home. “She was an incredibly exceptional person. She had a profound impact on everybody she met. She was very smart, very engaging, very dynamic and driven.”
Kimberly, an Upper East Side resident, had been working late with Parker on Thursday night on a decision before the fatal 7:30 p.m. crash, a co-worker had told The Post.
Kimberly was struck by a 2013 private charter bus from the Woburn, Mass.-based company NYC Style Limo while crossing the street at the Lower Manhattan intersection of Centre and Leonard streets.
The bus driver, 50-year-old Xi Chen, was arrested at the scene.
“I don’t even know what happened. I don’t even know if I want to know what happened,” her heartbroken dad said. “I just knew that she was struck by the bus. I don’t want to know.”
George said that he typically spoke to his daughter every day, but he never got the chance to speak to her Thursday.
“I spoke to her Wednesday night. I put in a long day, and I basically fell asleep at 7:30,” George said. “I used to call her at 8:30 because she was often on her way home. She worked very hard and very late. Last night I did not call.”
Kimberly served as a clerk for Parker since March and was an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School where she graduated from in May 2016 and where she met her husband, 27-year-old Michael Eric Singer.
“She met Michael the first day of law school,” George said. “They became best friends and eventually fell in love, and all he wanted to do was make her happy.”
Kimberly and Singer had married Nov. 10.
The dad added that Kimberly’s mother and grandmother were both teachers, “so I think it was in her blood.
“She had a huge heart. She loved everybody,” George said of Kimberly who had two brothers and was the youngest of them all.
Kimberly was slated to work in the Southern District until 2020 and had another clerkship lined up with a federal magistrate in White Plains, her father said.
